Roy's teacups now have cameras in the bottom of them for Bernie and Christina to peer into to read their futures in the tea-leaves. Good news and travel are the results. Talking of results, Bernie has the BRCA blood test today and Kit tells Todd he doesn't want to tell her his diagnosis as he wants her to have two weeks before she gets the results, which he knows will be positive. However, the nurse taking the blood test is called Paul and Bernie thinks it was Apollo looking after her from heaven. She also says that she and Dev should book a holiday and Kit stomps off, insulting her hippie-dippy ways. He finally 'fesses up that he has stage 3 breast cancer and Bernie breaks down.
Loopy Lucy is mad at Sally for wanting to go to the pub quiz (first prize: beef and mustard crisps) so fakes feeling ill so that Sal will stay at home. I mean, she's 15 - she can look after herself can't she, or surely Tim can being her some Lemsips. The quiz features '80s singers and '80s hairstyles so Debbie (born 1968) is in her element and wins a hotpot voucher
Also in the pub, Glenda wants to post a vid of Suzy singing You Can't Stop The Beat on the Little Big Shotz socials but Maggie is worried that pervs and weirdos will see it. Given that one of her grandkids has already been exploited by a perv and weirdo, she has a point. She gets the video taken down.
And finally, Ross winds up Kev, telling him he shouldn't forgive Carl for what he did to Kev (how does Ross know?), which enrages Debbie and she slaps her bro. In the meantime, Carl has got a trial shift on the switch at Streetcars, so I guess he's sticking around despite the fact I fully thought he'd left.
